⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

An exotic-slaying JDM legend offering raw, track-focused performance and grip.

When the early ‘CBA’ generation R35 GT-R touched down in the UK in mid-2009, it didn’t just join the supercar establishment - it shattered it. It earned instant mythic status by offering exotic-slaying performance at a price tag that baffled traditional European marques.

At the core of the R35 legend is the hand-built VR38DETT 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6. Factory-rated at 480 bhp and 430 lb-ft of torque, these early power units were famously understated in their official figures - delivering a relentless wallop of boost that launched the GT-R from 0 to 60 mph in under 3.5 seconds. Coupled with a rear-mounted 6-speed dual-clutch transmission and the ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system, its power delivery wasn't just fast; it was explosive and unflappable regardless of British weather.

Visually, the R35 carved out a unique aesthetic. Unapologetically industrial and heavily influenced by Gundam mechanics, its muscular stance, aggressive front grille, and quad round taillights gave it an unmistakable highway presence. It projected an aura of raw, technical dominance, earning its 'Godzilla' moniker by systematically outperforming Italian and German exotics costing two to three times as much.

What truly defines the CBA era is its visceral, unfiltered character. Unlike later iterations that leaned further into GT refinement, the GT-R is lauded by purists for its direct, mechanical connection. The firm ride, mechanical valvetrain clatter on cold start, and tactile transmission chatter created a raw, weaponised driving feel. With infinite tuning potential built into its over-engineered block, the GT-R remains the quintessential benchmark that redefined modern performance cars forever.

Consigned to Trade Classics on behalf of a reputable luxury and supercar specialist, this 2009 Nissan GT-R is finished in striking red over a sleek black interior. Showing just ~10,061 miles under the care of only two owners, this remarkably well-preserved example boasts a Litchfield ECU remap, and an MY12 gearbox software update. Offered with a fresh 12-month MOT, its last service was completed a mere ~116 miles ago.

Accompanied by its full owner’s wallet, original booklets, and two keys, it represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a low-mileage, highly original R35.
